How many #InfoSec #SysAdmin #DevOps and other techie people have dedicated servers running and not being used most of the time to their full potential? I know I do.

Surely there is a way to have them connect and create a libre cloud - think of it as SETI@Home or Folding@Home, but for running services (say, docker containers or VMs).

That could create infrastructure for people who cannot afford their own servers, but would like to play with stuff.

PSA for people who #code:

Looking stuff up does NOT make you bad at coding.

"Not having to look up stuff" is NOT the benchmark for a good coder, especially as coders have to look up stuff ALL THE TIME!

And I don't mean highly advanced stuff, but stuff like "How does division work again?" or "What's that function called?" or my personal favorite "How to I nest for loops in list comprehensions?".

It's ok if you have to look up stuff!

Facebook logged the posts you wrote but then erased and never posted in the first place, and now they kindly published a study about it https://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/ICWSM/ICWSM13/paper/viewFile/6093/6350 (PDF)

Friendos: what’s a good brand of binder with a low-ish neckline? I love my high-neckline gc2b ones, but want one I can wear with tank tops and dresses too, ‘cuz Gender Is Complicated

Ooooh #adventofcode looks fun, and the first puzzle is totally doable even for me? I'm trying this I think!!

Is anyone on here experienced with #Braille? I have a question I need to ask about a handmade gift that I'm commissioning soon for the person I'd usually ask about these things. Preferably looking for someone who uses Braille regularly. Please boost.

Folks, I need a bit of your help! I want to test the new #Tusky release, so please spam me with the weirdest notifications you can come up with. Give me mass emojis, custom emojis, super long toots, gifs, images, links, everything combined and so on.

Uh… when, in detail view of a toot in a long thread, you click another toot in that thread to see what it is replying to, it (sometimes? not always I think?) makes you scroll down all the way again instead of opening at the right position.

I'm scared of githu interactions right now so I can't suggest changing that, but maybe someone else wants to?

No one understands the boulder was also cursed to be eternally pestered by Sisyphus, when all it wanted was to chill at the foot of the hill

Thanks to @Chocobozzz for developing such a great piece of software. It's really cool to see where this is going!

if anyone wants drawing prompts, I'm always happy to give drawing prompts, but the prompt will always be mermaid girlfriends, draw all the mermaid girlfriends

Der Tag, an dem die Safety&Security-Infos zum Congress rauskommen, ist immer sehr unangenehm trollbehaftet.

Anyways. Ich habe hier ein bezahltes #34C3 -Ticket, das ich einer Person geben möchte, die es sich sonst nicht leisten kann. DMs/Threema/Jabber/Mail/Postkarte (vmtl zu langsam).

I'm planning to organize a chaos.social but also a general mastodon meetup as self organized session at #34c3

Who is interested?

Real fucking cyberpunk isn't an overpaid security guard with more toys than a personal best buy. THIS is.

Not sure if serious or art project or a litte bit of both, but it's pretty cool in any case. :o
